British writer

Lu Shi opened the car curtains,

Evening in Stockholm is like midnight in London,

The cold wind is biting,

There was silence.

The city seemed to be filled with ice, and everything became silent and mysterious.

Lu Shi's finger joints were turned white by the cold.

brush--

He closed the car curtains,

"Really cold."

Poincaré next to him echoed: "Fortunately, Toon chose to stay in the hotel. At seventy years old, he will definitely not be able to bear the temperature. By the way, Professor Lu, why don't you see Mr. Xiao?"

Lu Shi curled his lips,

"Lao Xiao and I joined forces to fight against the Swedish Academy before. He definitely didn't want to get into trouble. Besides, Professor Monson also... humph..."

In short, Bernard Shaw slipped away very quickly and may have been of French origin.

Poincaré couldn't help but laugh,

"Speaking of this matter, how are you going to solve it?"

Lu Shi pondered and did not answer.

Roland next to him said: "Professor Lu is a historian just like Professor Monson. In this case, of course, we must speak for ourselves with results."

Poincaré: "..."

Little brother, you really dare to say that.

Comparing results with Munson?

How difficult is that...

You should know that Mommsen had a dream when he wrote "History of Rome", that is, future researchers of Roman history would only need to read his book without looking at the historical materials of previous generations.

How many brushes can a scholar who dares to achieve this goal have?

Poincaré asked Lu Shi: "Professor Lu, do you think "History of Rome" has shortcomings? Or, what do you think of that series of works?"

Lu Shi spread his hands,

"There are definitely still shortcomings. For example, he only wrote about the Roman Republic, but not the Roman Empire."

There is a book called "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", which was written in 1788 and was written by the British writer Edward Gibbon.

This book was written from the time of Hadrian, and not only does it not overlap with the timeline of "History of Rome", there is even a gap of 150 years between them.

It is not difficult to see from this that "History of Rome" is indeed incomplete.

Of course, this is also due to the long span of Rome.

Ridiculously long.

Roland said: "This doesn't count, does it? Professor Monson himself said that he believed that Rome had changed after Caesar. Caesar was the last defender of Rome. This is the reason why he did not write further."

This is true,

In the fifth volume of Roman History, Mommsen wrote:

"

It was an antiquated world that even Caesar's unique patriotism could not rejuvenate. The dawn must wait until the darkness has passed before it can return. But Caesar at least gave the tired Mediterranean people a tolerable dusk after the scorching noon.

"

A sense of epicness hits you.

Lu Shi chuckled,

"The Rome described by Professor Monson is divided. I think this is related to his ability to describe war scenes."

Roland nodded and said: "The two most exciting parts of "History of Rome" are the Hannibal War period and the Caesar period, with a lot of writings on military matters. But where does the term 'split' come from?"

Lu Shi replied: "The Hannibal War, take the Second Punic War as an example. Who is the hero generally considered now?"

Roland: "Scipio?"

Poincaré: "Marcellus?"

The two said two names.

Lu Shi said "hmm" and said with certainty: "They are all. Moreover, Monson also expressed it very objectively. From this point, it is not difficult to see that he praised the Roman Senate, and the Roman people in his works were full of Passion and energy.”

"Ah this..."

Roland reacted,

"So, when Professor Monson wrote the fifth volume, his style changed and he began to praise Caesar and slander the Senate. It's a bit strange..."

From the people’s view of history to the heroic view of history,

Attitudes have changed dramatically.

It’s no wonder that there are two views on “History of Rome” in the historical circles:

1. The history of the struggle between the Roman people and the Senate;

2. Biography of Caesar.

Roland took a breath of cold air,

"Professor Lu, do you think it's copying...hiss..."

Lu Shi rolled his eyes at him,

"How is that possible!?"

Roland was embarrassed,

"I didn't say anything just now. You didn't hear anything."

Poincaré interjected: "There are two possibilities for sudden changes in historical views. First, "History of Rome" is divided into five volumes, written from 1854 to 1885... more than thirty years. What things cannot be changed?"

Roland asked: "What about the second one?"

Poincaré explained: "The second possibility is personal likes and dislikes. Frankly speaking, when I read the fifth volume, I felt that Professor Monson had very deep feelings for Caesar. And I believe that anyone who has read those words should Everyone will have the same thoughts as me.”

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence fell in the carriage.

There was a soft sound outside, the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground, echoing in the silence.

Roland sighed,

"Personal likes and dislikes? Can I still remain objective when writing like this?"

Poincaré shrugged.

"cannot."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Shi with a questioning look.

But Lu Shi just shook his head,

He knew very well that quarreling with Monson academically would be a thankless act.

What to do in the end requires long-term planning.

At this time, the coachman's voice came from outside: "Gentlemen, we are here."

The three of them paid the fare and entered the hotel.

The lobby was deserted, and there were no scientists at all. There were only two service staff standing there, leaning against the wall behind them, yawning from time to time.

Poincaré glanced at the clock.

"Everyone should be in the restaurant at this time."

When he turned to Lu,

"I ate here for lunch. You should really try the Swedish meatballs, they're pretty good."

After saying that, he led the way.

The strange thing is that there is still no noise from the restaurant.

The three of them opened the door in confusion.

For a moment, Verne's voice hit my ears,

"

‘Scientists claim to be conducting research for the benefit of all mankind, but in fact they are just using society’s wealth to satisfy their own desires, to satisfy their desire for the mysterious harmony and beauty of the universe. What is the difference between this and using public funds to spend money in a red light district? ! ’

"

Lu Shi:? ? ?

What the hell...

It's the content of "Chao Wen Dao"!

He looked around,

The decoration in the restaurant is extremely luxurious, with the radiance of the chandeliers and the colors of the murals intertwined to create a noble and comfortable dining atmosphere.

At the end of the rows of dining tables is a small makeshift platform.

The material is eight chairs,

They face each other two by two, using the seats to form a platform of about three square meters.

Verne stood on it and read:

"

‘Science has developed to this day, and someone has finally defined its essence more accurately. ’

"

At this point, the third chapter of "Chao Wen Tao" ends.

The room was quiet at first,

Immediately afterwards, deafening applause lifted the roof.

Discussions came from all directions,

"Scientific research is equivalent to using public funds for prostitution? This statement is really... Hahaha! Appropriate! So appropriate!"

"It's getting better..."

"Yes, this novel is getting more and more exciting."

…

Lu Shi couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.

￣□￣｜｜

He never imagined that Planck's plan to share the novel with his colleagues would now turn into a public execution.

Poincaré was confused;

"What did we miss?"

He subconsciously looked around and found a physicist named——

Hendrick Anton Lorenz.

His smooth forehead and classic slicked back hair are highly recognizable.

Poincaré test,

"Excuse me, are you Professor Lorenz?"

Lorenz is still immersed in the novel,

Suddenly someone called him, startling him and looking at him,

"ah?"

His eyes were full of confusion.

Poincaré knew that it was the sequelae of focusing too much on one thing.

This is what happens when you study difficult math problems on your own.

He added: "Professor Lorenz?"

Lorenz finally came to his senses,

"You...um...Professor Poincaré?"

Poincaré asked in a low voice: "What happened just now? It sounded like Jules' impromptu speech."

Lorenz shook his head,

"No, no, that's a new science fiction novel. Didn't you notice the manuscript in Mr. Verne's hand?"

Science fiction.

Hearing this word, Poincaré's whole body felt like an electric shock.

He couldn't help but turn to Lu Shi.

Lu Shi was helpless,

"yes."

Just this one word is worth a thousand words.

Lorenz also noticed Lu Shi,

When he saw this young Chinese, his first reaction was to raise his voice: "You are...um...! @* # ￥%..."

The next words were garbled because his mouth was covered.

Lu Shi whispered: "Please keep your voice down."

Lorenz blinked desperately,

"! @* # ￥%..."

Only then did Lu Shi let go.

Lorenz looked at the young man in front of him.

After a long while, he said: "Professor Lu, you are really amazing. Your novels are well written and have high intentions. The most important thing is that you can write science fiction themes that can deeply integrate various science and engineering disciplines without obvious flaws. This is really rare."

Lu Shi said, "You deserve the prize."

The scientist in front of me is the founder of classical electron theory, so it is better for him to be humble.

What he didn't expect was that the other party wouldn't allow him to be humble at all.

I saw Lorenz take out a notebook,

"Can you sign it for me?"

He opened one of the pages,

There were some scrawled mathematical symbols on it, and Lu Shi could see concepts such as the vibration of electrons and the charge-to-mass ratio of negative electrons.

Nothing new,

In 1896, Lorenz published a paper explaining these.

He was a little embarrassed,

"This... I'm sorry, I wrote it all. Only this page is relatively clean."

Lu Shi waved his hand, took out his notebook, and signed his name.

"It's okay, let's swap."

Lorenz:! ! !

"Thank you Professor Lu!"

He thrust his notebook into Lu Shi's hands and then snatched the other person's.

The whole process was smooth and smooth, as if I was afraid that someone would regret it.

Lu Shi chuckled,

"grateful."

He said goodbye to Lorenz, and then went with Roland and Poincaré to find Tolstoy and Verne.

Planck and Einstein were there too,

It is rare for scientists and writers to sit at the same table.

In addition, there is another person,

It was a tall man with a thick beard and deep eyes,

He has clear facial lines and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His gentle appearance adds a bit of scholarly temperament.

But his behavior at this moment is not "scholarly";

I saw him holding the fork tightly and attacking the veal ribs in front of him with murderous intent.

Meat juice dripped down his beard. Every time he swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his eyes narrowed into slits, full of satisfaction and wildness.

Planck said in German: "Eat slowly, Wilhelm."

Lu Shi was speechless,

Unexpectedly, this person was William Conrad Roentgen.

Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895 and later used them extensively in medical practice.

He has saved countless people, and there is no greater kindness.

Just listen to Röntgen's reply: "You can't slow down. Chapter 4 will be coming soon, and I don't want to listen to it while eating. That would be disrespectful to Professor Lu and "Chao Wen Dao"."

"Tsk..."

Planck was speechless.

At this time, he discovered Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu."

Several people at the same table looked at him.

Lu Shi said hello, then sat down next to Plank and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Planck looked helpless.

"Me too...well...at first, I shared the novel with Fimmel and Albrecht. As a result, they applauded when they read the wonderful points, which attracted Ernest and Joseph, the master and disciple pair. Then, Joseph called Herman, followed by Gabriel, Gabriel..."

Lu Shi quickly raised his hand to interrupt the other party.

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!"

He almost fainted hearing these names.

"Professor Planck, please try to be more focused."

Planck followed suit and said: "The situation at that time was that your manuscript was surrounded on three levels inside and three outside, and everyone lined up to get it."

This statement sounds so strange!

Lu Shi asked: "What then?"

Planck nodded slightly in the direction of Tolstoy.

"Toon came up with the idea and asked Mr. Verne to set up a small podium and read "Chao Wen Dao" aloud, and it ended up like this."

Lu Shi: "..."

I don't know what to say.

At this moment, Verne stood up and jumped on the stage.

The break between Chapters 3 and 4 is over,

For a moment, the restaurant became quiet.

Verne read aloud:

"

‘The first eight mathematicians walked up the long ramp to the Altar of Truth… ‘Please ask questions. ’… ‘We want to see the final proof of Goldbach’s conjecture. ’’

"

After reading a few paragraphs, there was sudden discussion below,

"Stupid! How stupid! Why is it Goldbach's conjecture?! How can it be Goldbach's conjecture!?"

"Goldbach's conjecture is the crown jewel of mathematics! What's the problem?! I think it's you who has the problem!"

"Nonsense! The Riemann hypothesis is obviously more important!"

"What do you mean? Do you think number theory is not as good as your field of study?"

"I just seek truth from facts!"

…

The quarrel became more and more intense.

Moreover, it was not just those two people, but different opinions emerged at every table.

Lu Shi scratched his head.

He looked at the people on the table,

"How about we... Mr. Poincaré?"

Poincaré suddenly stood up and said: "I have always had a topological conjecture. Any simply connected, closed three-dimensional manifold must be homeomorphic to a three-dimensional sphere. I want to know if this conjecture can be proved. .”

Lu Shi:! ! !

Unexpectedly, Poincaré's conjecture, which was supposed to appear in 1904, was advanced because of "Chao Wen Dao".

He stood up,

"Everyone, if you want to listen to the novel, please stay quiet!"

This sentence was almost shouted.

Everyone's eyes were attracted,

"Is that Lu?"

"Chinese... it should only be Professor Lu, right?"

"I didn't expect him to be so young."

…

The restaurant gradually returned to calm.

Lu Shi said: "If you continue to quarrel, then don't blame me for taking away the manuscript of the novel."

This threat is very useful,

The whole restaurant immediately fell silent.

Verne quietly gave Lu Shi a thumbs up, and then continued reading,

As a result, when the time came for archaeologists to mount the altar of truth to offer sacrifices, the scientists started to quarrel again.

What they discussed this time:

A. The reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs;

B. Does Tutankhamun exist?

C. What is going on in Rapa Nui (also known as Easter Island).

Which of the three is more important?

Lu Shi was helpless and once again used threats to maintain order.

As a result, every time Verne read about a sacrifice, he would ask Lu Shi to stand up and say a few words to calm the chaos in the restaurant.

The most terrible thing is that there are especially many physicists participating in the Nobel Prize.

This led to the end of Chapter 4, where a group of people almost got into a fist fight.

Just like them, they still want to see Lu Shi and Mengsen bleed like rivers of blood?

Just don't bleed into a river first.

Lu Shi took the opportunity to collect the manuscript.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I just said that if you can't keep quiet, I will... hum... this is punishment."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was cursed with silence.

It was eerily quiet, as if you could hear a needle drop.

Someone made a suffocating sound like drowning and begged Lu Shi: "Professor Lu, please... I really... we really want to hear the content of this novel."

Others followed suit,

"yes!"

"Professor Lu, please~ please~"

"I beg you, Professor Lu."

…

How could Lu Shi agree?

Chapter 4 of "Chao Wen Dao" only talks about the knowledge of various subjects, which is relatively easy to deal with.

Chapter 5 is a proposition of scientific philosophy——

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening." Is this scientific view worthy of recognition?

This involves essential content and will inevitably cause controversy.

If there are really a few stubborn scientists who can't think about it and perform a live death sermon, then things will be very serious.

Let them calm down first.

Lu Shi took away the manuscript.

"Sorry, I mean what I say."

He ran away, went straight to his room, and locked the door.

Everyone in the restaurant didn't realize what was going on.

After a long time, someone said: "Alas... our disrespect for Professor Lu angered him..."

The voice was extremely weak, as if it had lost its soul.

Everyone turned their attention and discovered that it was Lorenz, a Dutch theoretical physicist.

I saw him slumped in the chair, as if all his strength had been taken away.

I don’t know how long it took,

"Let's go."

He stood up slowly.

The others sighed, stood up, and filed out of the restaurant.

Lorenz returned to the room and sat down at the desk.

He opened the notebook, thinking about making some calculations, but was surprised to find that it was Lu Shi's notebook, with only two Chinese characters signed by Long Feifengwu——

Lu, time.

"Huh~"

Lorenz let out a long breath, and the contents of the first few chapters of "Chao Wen Dao" rushed into his mind again.

He shook his head to dispel the chaotic thoughts,

"That's all, just go to bed today."

He put on his pajamas, got into bed, and murmured to himself: "Don't think about the things that are and are not, it is more important to rest...sleep...sleep..."

…

…

…

Two hours later,

"Fxxk!"

Lorenz suddenly sat up from the bed.

"What the hell is the epilogue!?"

grass!

can not fall asleep!
